KABUL, Afghanistan — Two Americans training security forces were killed Monday by a man in an Afghan police uniform, Afghanistan’s president said.

Hamid Karzai condemned the killing of what he described as two American trainers. There were no further details in a statement released by his office. Karzai offered his condolences to the men’s families.

“According to reports this morning, two American trainers were killed by a person with a police uniform in the capital of Faryab province. Hearing this report, President Karzai was saddened and expressed his deep condolences to the families of both trainers who were killed in the incident,” the statement said.

NATO said earlier that a man wearing an Afghan border police uniform shot dead two of its service members inside a compound in northern Afghanistan. It did not provide their nationalities. It was unclear if the attacker was an Afghan police officer who turned on his Western counterparts or an insurgent who put on a uniform to infiltrate the base. There have been cases of both in Afghanistan.
